Many guests at the
event - police officers and
firefighters as well as this

near Highway 39. The traffic
was bumper-to-bumper on
the freeway, in part due to
people looking at the fire
and taking video with their
iPhones while driving.
Evacuation orders were

As of early Tuesday

only 5 percent contained.
The fire was moving

Dorothy's Place
For our children

By Dorothy Denne
The phrase "for our
children" is heard from
politicians,
educators,
social reformers probably
as often as any other single
phrase. I generally hear it
with a bit of skepticism, a
hyperbolical phrase that
I don't take too seriously.
This week I had a different
experience.
A
young
friend
showed me pictures from
his I thingie of his daughter.
The light in his eyes and
the smile on his lips silently
spoke volumes about her
blessings. Later in the
evening the T.V. screen
showed me pictures from
across the ocean of babies
crying in hunger, young
children running in terror
or their bleeding twisted
bodies being carried by

desperate adults.
The
dichotomy
impelled me to share a
prayer I had read, a serious
"for our children":
A Prayer For Our
Children
We pray for children
who put chocolate fingers
everywhere, who like to
be tickled, who stomp in
puddles and ruin their new
pants,who sneak Popsicles
before supper, who erase
holes in math workbooks,
who can never find their
shoes.
And we pray for those
who stare at photographers
from behind barbed wire,
who are born in places we
wouldn't be caught dead,
who never go to the circus,
who live in an X-rated
world.
We pray for children
who bring us sticky kisses
and fistfuls of dandelions,
who hug us in a hurry and
forget their lunch money,
who cover themselves with
Band-Aids and sing off-key
and who slurp their soup.
And we pray for those
who never get dessert, who

have no safe blanket to drag
behind, who can't find any
bread to steal, who don't
have any rooms to clean,
whose pictures aren't on
anybody's dresser, whose
monsters are real.
We pray for children
who spend all their
allowance before Tuesday,
who throw tantrums in
the grocery store and pick
at their food, who shove
dirty clothes under the
bed, who get visits from
the tooth fairy, who don't
like to be kissed in front of
the car pool, who squirm
in church and scream in
the phone, whose tears we
sometimes laugh at and
whose smiles can make us
cry.
And we pray for
children who want to be
carried, and for those who
must. For those we never
give up on, and for those
who never get a chance.
For those we smother, and
for those who will grab
the hand of anybody kind
enough to offer.
We pray for all our
children.

The Sierra Madre Water Rate Study
Each July, the water
rates will increase by
approximately
7.54%
through 2015. The water
rates will help meet current
costs, debt payments, and set
aside funds for maintenance
and/or improvements in the
water system. This is a direct
statement made in a letter

to the people by the City of
Sierra Madre. Do they really
need another study?
These charges are
supposed to be based on
actual costs. Let's examine
what's being done.
First, they have three
tiers of rates, $2.21, $2.27
and $2.30 per unit. What is

the cost? Is it the low rate of
$2.30? If so then the higher
rates are an illegal charge
to the users. If the highest
rate is the true cost, then
to lower rates in the City is
engaged in selling the water
at loss.
Second, the meter
charge as listed is:

They say the life of
a meter is more than 10
years.
Since this cost of a
water meter starts at less
than $100, and is less than
$500.00 for the largest.
Why are they charging so
much? Is it to pay debts,
maintain the system or is it
their brainchild to replace
the meters with meters
that will provide usage
figures direct to the City's
computer?
Thirdly, the large
sewer rate is $22.20 bimonthly, $133.20/Year and
$1,332.00 per year. Is this
an honest charge, when
they do not maintain the
sewers that have over 100
different places that have
been damaged for more
than a year. Are they
really being truthful?
The simple fact is the
City keeps charging more
for the same thing and
they do not maintain or
fix anything in the whole
system, from the supply to
the delivery.

They also put in place
all kinds of restrictions.
1). DO
NOT
WATER YOUR YARD
during the daytime, and
reduce the amount that is
used in maintaining your
landscape.
Answer: T h e y
expect you to get out of
bed at night and go water
your plants and do not
waste water or use
much so that the roots of
your trees can get into the
sewer system and cause
further damages, which we
will not repair.
2). DO NOT WASH
YOUR CAR at home, that
"wastes" 'water. They must
think that it is cheaper to
go to the car wash, and
you must remember to
"conserve". Conversely, it
is perfectly okay, for the
City to spend $75,000 for a
new car wash for the City's
vehicles, which will use
(waste) water, and we're
sure that this will be done
during daylight hours.
3). DO
NOT

COMPLAIN
OR
GRUMBLE while the City
continues to charge us
more for doing less.
Does anybody that
you know work in order
to give their money to
the City, State, or Federal
Government?
When
are they going to make
prudent use of the money
they have, including the
annual increases that they
receive on property taxes.
Of course, the current
costs increase because we
have to pay interest on the
numerous loans that are on
the books. Don't imply that
the loans should be paid,
or prepaid, but rather let
us re-finance and extend
the loans so that the people
can pay for the increases
in costs and interest. Will
they keep their hands out
of our wallets and purses?
When will they manage
the City's income correctly
and quit asking for more?
Need it be said: "You story
does not hold water".

Saga of the last remaining diaper
by Fran Syverson
It’s only a rag, albeit
a nice, soft, absorbent one.
Why am I holding it up
to look at it before gently
folding it and putting it into
the rag box?
Because it is the last
remaining diaper in my
family, that’s why. It’s
been around, unbelievably,
for about 60 years. It shows
its age; it’s pretty thin. And
I’m pondering the journey
it’s had!
That diaper has been
fastened onto my three
babies—a son, a daughter,
and a son. By fastened,
I mean pinned with a
huge safety pin. No stickytape fasteners then. Back
in those days, we could
choose diaper pins with
colorful plastic clasps
on them. Pink or blue,
if you felt like indicating
your baby’s gender. Pale
green or buttery yellow,
if it matched the nursery
décor.
Diaper laundry was
usually a daily chore.
We dropped the diapers
into pails with lids in the
interests of hygiene and
aesthetics, and generally
ran a load of them through
the washer daily for the
same reasons. Besides, our
budgets wouldn’t allow
for stocking up on huge
numbers of them.
For many years, I
didn’t have a clothes
dryer. That meant hanging
the laundry on a wire or
plastic clothesline in the
back yard. It was a tedious
routine, but it also meant

diapers that brought the
fresh outdoors aroma back
into the house with them.
And of course, the sun and
air promised squeaky-clean
and germfree diapers.
Then came the task of
folding them to put away
on a nursery shelf.
Families who could
afford it sometimes hired
diaper
services
that
provided a decorated,
plastic-lined bucket. A
driver came by every
couple of days to exchange
the used diapers for fresh,
clean ones. What a luxury!
Disposable
diapers
existed,
even
back
then. But most moms
in the fifties indulged
in disposables only for
traveling, or perhaps treks
to grandparents’ homes.
We didn’t use them often—
so who of us worried about
overflowing landfills?
I look more closely
at the ancient diaper I’m
holding. I can still read
“Curity” printed on it,
now faintly. How many
washings has that lettering
survived?
Hundreds,
literally hundreds! And
two denser lines are woven
across the diaper’s width.
They
are
guidelines,
indicating
where
the
diaper should be folded
to fit the wee one. Daddies
especially appreciated that.
When we brought our
daughter home from the
hospital, the July weather
was unbearably hot, and
baby fretted. But grandma
had a trick—she wrapped

the naked baby snugly in
a diaper, maybe this very
one I’m fondling. Like
swaddling clothes of yore,
the gauzy diaper held the
baby close, womblike, as
she’d been only a few days
before, and in it she felt
cool and comfy.
Babies grow up. What
then, with the cloth diapers?
For us, they took on new
roles as both dishtowels and
face towels on our High
Sierra backpacking trips.
After washing and drying
our tin cups and plates with
the diapers, we draped
them over branches, and in
no time they were dry.
Just as kiddos grow
up, camping days come
to a close. Yet here is this
lone Curity diaper, not yet
thrown away. Now it’s
just a rag, but a very good
one, soft, absorbent, lintfree—and good for window
washing. And here I stand,
thinking of the decades it
and I have spent together.
I sigh, fold it, and reach
up to put it into my rag-tag
box of memories.

EVERYONE IS WELCOMED

By Emmy Hernandez
Certified Financial
Planner®
Practitioner
Attorney at Law
Emmy, I’m retired
and living mostly off Social
Security. Last year, I withdrew a fairly large amount
from my IRA. Because
of this, my benefits will
be taxed this year. I feel
blindsided! Why is this?
I thought Social Security
benefits were tax free as
they were taxed from my
income years ago.
I do understand your
surprise and frustration.
Many people who have
their taxes done by a third
party are unaware that their
Social Security benefits may
be taxed. Often, it’s not
until someone completes
the Social Security Benefits
Worksheet to calculate the
correct figure for line 20b
of their 1040 that the truth
comes out. (Eek, that last
sentence made me sound
like a bit of a tax geek.)
Some history: this tax
was initiated by the Reagan administration’s Social
Security reforms in 1983.
Before then, everyone received their benefits tax
free. Yes, you did indeed
originally pay into the
program as a tax on your
earned income. However
behind the scenes, your employer also paid an equal
amount each month and

that money was not taxed.
Today, the tax rate
on Social Security benefits is determined by your
taxable, or provisional,
income. For most households, provisional income
is your Adjusted Gross
Income, plus tax-exempt
interest income, plus half
of your Social Security benefits. (Foreign-earned income and higher education
costs can also be factored
in.) Think of that taxable
50% of your benefits as the
untaxed portion that your
past employers paid into
the system. The 1983 law
established a baseline of
$25,000 for individuals and
$32,000 for married couples. If your provisional annual earnings fall below this
baseline then your benefits
remain tax free.
However, once this
threshold is crossed, things
change. Up to half of your
annual benefit amount now
becomes taxable. The additional monies you withdrew
from your IRA very likely
brought you above that
baseline. Folks with large
required minimum distributions from their IRAs face
this problem. Likewise, benefit recipients who choose to
take on a part-time job for
extra income.
In 1993, under President Clinton, another threshold was created: $34,000
for individuals and $44,000
for married couples. If you
cross this second line, then
up to 85% of your benefits
can be taxed!
Although I am loathe
to add more fuel to the fire,
there is yet another factor
that stings: these two income thresholds are not indexed for inflation. In 1983,
$32,000 in annual retirement
income for a married couple
offered a higher living standard than today. Likewise,

$44,000 was an impressive
amount in 1993. Then, far
fewer people were affected
by these thresholds for taxing Social Security benefits.
Now many retirees face this
tax. Unfortunately, most are
unaware of it.
As a point of reference,
in 1984 the tax on Social Security benefits brought $2.8
billion back into the Social
Security system. But last
year, the tax yielded $26.7
billion.
There are different strategies to help avoid being
taxed more than necessary
on Social Security benefits.
Ultimately, you want to keep
your provisional income under the taxable limit. One
option is to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA.
Income from Roth accounts
is not included when calculating the provisional income affecting the taxation
of Social Security benefits.
Please be aware that such
a conversion is considered
a withdrawal from a traditional IRA and 401(k). This
financial transfer is counted
as taxable income and will
greatly add to your tax liability for the year it’s implemented. But, taking the onetime tax hit might be worth
it. By converting, you could
reduce the tax burden on future Social Security benefits.
The goal is to plan
ahead to lesson your tax
burden. Every family’s
situation differs and any tax
deferral strategy must be
tailored to suit those needs.
The rollover option I’ve
outlined above is a generality. Please consult a qualified financial advisor before
making any important decisions.
I truly hope this information was useful. Let me
end this week’s column by
inviting everyone to attend
an important Social Security

workshop I’m hosting at the
San Gabriel public library
on Saturday, October 12th
at 10 am. Join me to learn
how to help maximize your
Social Security benefits and
discuss potential tax saving strategies. I encourage
you to reserve your seats
by calling my office at 626943-8833. I hope to see you
there.

The relevant income
for Social Security taxation
includes all items which
are normally part of your
adjusted gross income, plus
tax-exempt interest income,
plus 50% of your Social Security benefits. (Historically,
the 50% represents the fact
that half of your Social Security contributions were
made by your employer
and thus not taxed.) [3]
There are two relevant
base amounts; unlike most
income limits in the tax
code, they are not adjusted
for inflation. The lower base
is $25,000 if you are single,
$32,000 if married filing
jointly. The upper base is
$34,000 if you are single,
$44,000 if married filing
jointly.[4]
If your relevant income
is below the lower base,
none of your benefits are
taxable. For every $1 of relevant income between the
lower and upper bases, 50
cents of your Social Security
benefits become taxable, up
to 50% of your total benefits.
For every $1 of relevant income above the upper bases, 85 cents of your Social
Security benefits become
taxable, up to a total taxable

amount of 85% of your benefits.[5]
Rate of taxation
The bottom line: as income rises, more Social Security benefits are subject to
taxation, until eventually a
maximum of 85% of all benefits are included in income
for tax purposes!
The best thing to do
may be managing income
earlier to avoid exposure in
the later years. For instance,
Roth conversions before a
client starts Social Security
benefits can leave a more
flexible pool of money to
draw upon in the later years
- not to mention avoiding
RMDs - allowing the client
to avoid 22.5%, 27.75%, or
46.25% marginal tax rates
down the road. Of course,
the caveat for Roth conversions is still not to do too
much at once, driving up
the current tax rate to an untenable level
For lower-income retirees, less than 85% will be
taxable, but many retirees in
a 15% tax bracket will face
a marginal tax rate much
higher than 15%. the income
levels where Social Security
phases in - which can begin
with as little as $25,000 of
income for individuals - tax
rates rise high enough that
more proactive tax planning, from Roth conversions
to the use of annuities and
asset location strategies, becomes crucial to manage a
client's overall tax exposure!
Solutions
You might consider accelerating income into one
tax year or pushing off income to another year, says
paying off a mortgage with
cash savings could preserve
benefits from tax.
In the year you convert a traditional IRA to
a Roth, your benefits will
likely get taxed because a
conversion adds to your

taxable income. You might
consider doing smaller conversions over several years
in amounts that take you to
the top of your current tax
bracket.
Taking the one-time tax
hit could be worth it. Withdrawals from a traditional
IRA and 401(k) are counted
as taxable income. By converting, you may eliminate
or reduce the tax hit on future benefits. "Roth income
is not counted in the Social
Security taxation calculation," says Larry Rosenthal,
president of Financial Planning Services, in Manassas,
Va.
Tax deferral
Tax deferral strategies can also be appealing
to manage Social-Securitytriggered higher marginal
tax rates. This might not
only include just continuing
to maintain and stretch taxdeferred IRAs (to the extent
they're not converted), but
also the use of non-qualified
fixed or variable annuities
to defer income; while taxdeferral doesn't eliminate
exposure to the effect entirely, it's nonetheless true that
tax deferral itself is worth a
whole lot more when the
client's marginal tax rate is
so high! Similarly,effective
asset location strategies to
shelter the most high-income tax-inefficient assets
also become more important where client marginal
tax rates are so high.

Associate pastor arrested in alleged sexual
abuse of women parishioners in Norwalk
An associate pastor has
been arrested by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s detectives for the alleged sexual
abuse of numerous female
parishioners.
Sheriff’s Special Victims
Bureau detectives received
information that from October 2004 through September
2012, adult women of the
Las Buenas Nuevas Church
in Norwalk were victims of
sexual assaults committed
by a suspect. The suspect in
these crimes was identified
by the victims as an associate
pastor and counselor at the
church. The suspect moved
to the Los Angeles area from
Argentina in 2004.
Many of the victims are
Spanish-speaking undocumented immigrants. The suspect allegedly preyed upon
the victims’ vulnerability.
He did this by invoking fear
by threatening to tell the
victims if they reported him
he would have the victims
deported, while additionally
threatening to expose the victims to public embarrassment
and ridicule.

The information came
to deputies attention when
over 20 women ranging from
age 18 to 39 implicated the
suspect to a third party. That
person contacted sheriff's
deputies.
On September 13, 2013,
working with the Sheriff’s
Special Victims Bureau lead
investigator, detectives from
the Sheriff’s Major Crimes
Bureau/Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force,
located and arrested 53-year
old Suspect Jorge Juan Castro, a resident of Norwalk.
He was arrested at his Norwalk home. The suspect is
also an associate pastor at a
church in Riverside County,
so authorities there have
been notified of this arrest.
There are no known victims
in Riverside County.
The suspect was booked
on an arrest warrant for six
felony California Penal Code
charges of Rape (261(a)
(2) P.C.), Oral Copulation
(288a(a) (c)(2) P.C.), and
Penetration by a foreign object, (289(a)(1)(A) P.C.) The
suspect remains in custody in

Jorge Juan Castro

the Los Angeles County jail
with bail set at $2,000,000.00.
Special Victims Bureau
detectives are requesting the
public’s help. If you or anyone you know has information or needs assistance in
connection with this investigation, please contact Sheriff’s Special Victims Bureau

for youth employment program
The League of California Cities has selected the
city of Monrovia as a 2013
Helen Putnam Award winner. The 2013 award winners were honored during
the Opening General Session of the League’s Annual Conference & Expo at
the Sacramento Convention
Center held Sept. 18 – 20.
Monrovia won the
Ruth Vreeland Award for
Engaging Youth in City
Government for the city’s
Youth Employment Service
(YES) program to provide
job training, mentoring and
internship opportunities to
Monrovia-at risk youth.
Now in its sixth year,
YES has successfully graduated over 135 at-risk kids.
The program provides
mentoring and intervention features geared toward
high school students, specifically those who have failing
grades, unstable home lives,
a police record or simply
bad attitudes. Launched
in 2007, the program is designed to address the community’s need to improve
the quality of life and opportunities for local youth in
response to gang violence in
some areas of the city.
Studies indicated that
the relative effectiveness

of combating gang activity was to place 70 percent
of its efforts on prevention
and intervention, and 30
percent on suppression. In
Monrovia, the allocation of
resources was reverse: 80
percent was being spent on
suppression, while only 20
percent was being spent on
prevention and intervention.
At the time there were fewer
job opportunities for the
city’s youth and funding for
internships. YES was started
to address these issues by
partnering with the Santa
Anita Family YMCA, Monrovia Unified School District
and the Monrovia Chamber
of Commerce.
“We are honored to
receive the Helen Putnam
award and are very proud
of the YES program’s success. Of those youth who
have graduated, we’ve
seen grade point averages
increase by 14%, absenteeism decrease by 200% and
tardiness decrease by 145%,”
said Mayor Mary Ann Lutz.
“Many of these youth have
focused their energies back
into the community, which
makes the YES program
even more rewarding.”
Established in 1982, the
Helen Putnam Award for
Excellence program recog-

nizes outstanding cities that
deliver the highest quality
and level of service in the
most effective manner possible. Monrovia was one
of 13 cities out of 149 applicants throughout California to receive this coveted
award.
Particular attention and
credit is given to applications specifically advancing
the League’s strategic priorities (www.cacities.org/priorities), which are determined
each year by the board of
directors.
The award is given annually in 12 categories: CCS
Partnership Intergovernmental Collaboration Award;
Community Services and
Economic
Development;
Economic
Development
through the Arts; Enhancing Public Trust, Ethics, and
Community Involvement;
Health and Wellness Programs; Housing Programs
and Innovations; Internal
Administration;
Planning
and Environmental Quality;
Public Safety; Public Works,
Infrastructure and Transportation; the Ruth Vreeland
Award for Engaging Youth
in City Government; and
the League Partners Award
for Excellence in City-Business Relations.

Canadian provinces and
won first place. Tiffany has
been competing in this event
since she was 7 years old and
has won the North American

the Blind, only 10 percent of
the 1.3 million legally blind
people in the U.S. now read
Braille.

while also encouraging the
entire community to do the
same, says Mayor Cynthia
Stemquist. When everyone

Questions about Living with
Macular Degeneration?
Dr. Richard Shuldiner of Low Vision Optometry of
Southern California can answer your questions.
Q. To get help with glasses, does it
matter if I have wet or dry ARMD?
A. No. Low Vision doctors are
concerned with how much residual
vision is available. Our telescope,
microscope, E-Scoop & prismatic
glasses work for both wet and dry
ARMD.
Q. Are the glasses expensive?
A. Not anymore than hearing aids are expensive. Both low
vision glasses and hearing aids allow for a better quality of life
and are well worth the investment.
No interest financing is available.
Q. What if my eyes change or get worse?
A. Low Vision glasses can usually be altered in prescription
and magnification, should the need arise. At our office, there
is no charge for changing the Rx or magnification for one
year from the date of the examination.
Q. What about this new telescopic implant I’ve heard
about?
A. The Implantable Miniature Telescope may be a wonderful advance for a select few ARMD patients. However, there are
significant risks involved. After your low vision evaluation, I will
be able to assist you in making the right decision about surgery or
glasses.
Q. Do I have to come in for an appointment to know if
you can help me?
A. Yes and No. I invented the free low vision telephone interview
to determine what your chances are of being helped. The questions I ask on the phone an allow me to predict how much help
is available. You can then make an informed decision about making an appointment.

the California Retired
Teachers’ Association #71

eagerly awaiting a
legislative update from
Legislative Advocate David
L. Walrath, Sacramento.
Walrath
will
particularly deal with the
issues of Social Security
Fairness and the unfunded
obligation (also called
unfunded liability). These
two issues dramatically
impact current and future
retirees.
Walrath will explain
more about the recent
Social Security Fairness Act
and how it hopes to rectify
the unfairness of current
legislation that denies earned
and paid-for Social Security

educators and their spouses.
Walrath will tell how retired
educators can support the
Social Security Fairness Act.
Another issue that Walrath
will discuss is the CalSTRS
unfunded
obligation.
He will emphasize the
importance of involving
retired teachers in urging the
governor and our legislators
to address the funding
issue before the unfunded
obligation puts current and
future retirees’ nonvested
benefits at risk.
Retired teachers and
guests can hear David
Walrath speak at the Friday,
October 11, luncheon
meeting of CalRTA #71.
The meeting will take
place at the Senior Center

Perhaps they’re a
cross between the Bonzo

the Rolling Stones or then
again, maybe they’re not.
Actually, it is very difficult
to place a label on these
blokes. Very hard indeed.
Nonetheless we’ll try…art,
music and philosophy with
a tremendously off-the-wall
following with a British
sense of humour in American trousers comes to mind
when we think of Snotty
Scotty and his Hankies.
Celebrating the 25th
Anniversary of the 1988
Snotty Scotty & the Hankies
LP record on the Doo Dah
Record label, the legendary
lads will play the album in
actual order of the original
wax, in its entirety - for the
first time EVER. When,
you ask?: We’ll tell you Saturday Night - November
2, 2013 when they feel like
it.
According to our inside source, Sierra Madre
Sue, the lads will perform at
T. Boyle's Tavern in Pasadena - it was Toes Tavern
when/where the record release party took place on
11/13/1988.
Approximately
150
"producers" who contributed $10 each to make the
album happen are credited
on the back of the album
jacket. That list will soon be
published and Sierra Madre
Sue wants to get as many of
them as possible to attend
this once in a lifetime event
YOU may be one of them
and not even know it.
This is a MUST DO for
any music fan in Pasadena.

San Gabriel dedicates
1823 Chapman’s Mill
By Shel Segal

History is alive and well
in San Gabriel.
Officials and community leaders gathered at the San
Gabriel Mission on Tuesday
to dedicate the restoration
and relocation to a city park
of the sole remaining section
of a masonry millrace built in
1823 for Chapman’s Mill.
Chapman’s Mill was a
cornerstone of the agricultural community centered
on the old mission.
The 20-foot, 15-ton section of masonry waterway
was relocated to Plaza Park
on the grounds of the mission and installed as an educational exhibit, featuring
running water, for the many
visitors to the adjacent mission.
Excavated by archaeologists, the millrace was carefully moved during the summer from a nearby railroad
right-of-way to permit mass
excavation for an Alameda
Corridor-East Construction
Authority project to lower
the railroad in a 30-foot-deep,
concrete-walled trench with
bridges spanning the new
trench at four crossings in
San Gabriel.
Mike Hart, a historian
who was very knowledgeable with the millrace, said
it was part of a larger system
that irrigated the San Gabriel
Valley in those days.
“This millrace was part

-Photo by Shel Segal

of a large water system that
irrigated over 6,000 acres of
land altogether,” Hart said.
“It’s a mortar-lined structure
that channeled water directly
to the mill before in went
in to turn the mill wheel. It
carried water. It was an aqueduct.”
Hart added there isn’t
much left of this kind and
that what is found needs to
be preserved.
“This find is very important because the San Gabriel
Valley developed so quick
after the mission era that a lot
of the principle mission irrigation system and buildings
were destroyed,” he said. “At
the end of the 1840s Americans had started to come in
and this area developed so
very fast, which erased a lot
of the old mission system.”

Fr. Bruce Wellems of
the mission agreed.
“Anytime you find artifacts like that it connects
you with history,” Wellems
said. “So that’s cool. I never
made the connection of how
important aqueducts were to
the life of the mission.”
Steve Wilkinson of San
Dimas works at the nearby
Mission Playhouse and
stopped by for the festivities.
He said it was wonderful
the millrace was being preserved.
“I think it looks great,”
he said. “I think it is way cool
they decided to put it here
instead of just getting dug up
and lost forever.

Methodist Hospital is turning pink
Methodist Hospital is going pink , albeit temporarily.
In observance of National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month, the nursing staff and
others who wear the usual
blue exam gloves will wear
pink gloves during October.
“This is a small but visible way we can help increase
awareness among our patients and their families,” said
Methodist Hospital President
and CEO Dan Ausman. “We
want our patients to achieve
their best health for life, and
this is a positive reminder for
people to be proactive in their
own healthcare by getting
regular check-ups.”
This year more than
200,000 new cases of invasive
breast cancer are expected to
be diagnosed among American women and more than
2,000 new cases in men.
Except cancers of the skin,
breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed in women.
About 40,000 deaths from
breast cancer are expected
in 2013. Breast cancer ranks

second behind lung cancer
as a cause of cancer death in
women.
Because breast cancer
typically shows no symptoms
when a tumor is small and
most treatable, it is important
for women to follow recommended screening guidelines
to detect breast cancer at an
early stage. Larger tumors
may become evident as a
breast mass, which is often painless. Less common
symptoms include persistent
changes to the breast, such
as thickening, swelling, distortion, tenderness, skin irritation, redness, scaliness or nipple abnormalities. Breast pain
is more likely to be caused by
benign conditions and is not
a common early symptom of
breast cancer.
The most important
risk factor for breast cancer
– besides being female – is
increasing age. Potentially
modifiable risk factors include
weight gain after age 18, being overweight or obese, use
of menopausal hormone ther-

apy, physical inactivity and
alcohol consumption. Breast
cancer screening for women
who are at average risk includes clinical breast exam
and mammography, which
can often detect breast cancer
at an early stage when treatment is more effective and a
cure is more likely.
Methodist
Hospital’s
cancer program offers the
most advanced cancer diagnostics, treatment and
personalized care, including
advanced radiation therapy
program,
chemotherapy,
prostate seek program, surgery, pain management,
cancer support groups and
a new Positive Appearance
Center for cancer patients.
The Cancer Resource Center
staff offers help and support to
those who have had a cancer
diagnosis. The center is open
8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday –
Thursday, and 7 a.m. - 3:30

Historians at odds about MAFA's founding members

“ If Lapson was
involved in any way, its
news to me…” Brubaker
told Beacon Media. To this,
Lapson replied - “Hogwash!”
Brubaker said he had no
desire to talk with Lapson
and appeared angry that she
was disputing his father’s
role in MAFA.

I gave you a stack of original
newspaper stories that were
connected with Monrovia ’s
art activities. They were all
promoted by me ( Lapson).
I handled all publicity
to promote the Library
Exhibitions and the Annual
Festivals. I also gave you a
copy of the original ‘entry
form- rules for exhibitors’.

Mildred Lapson has expressed deep concern over the lack of recognition for her involvement in MAFA’s early days-Photo by Terry Miller

and others got the credit of
being the founders!!!!! I feel
so hurt!
Now that I’m 90, it sure
is a helluva note to wipe
me out in one fell swoop!!”
Lapson said.

she writes.
In the 1950’s, Pasadena
Society of Artists, held fund
raising auctions and affairs
at the Huntington Sheraton
Hotel, and held Annual Art
Festivals in Pasadena on
Colorado Blvd. and around
the City Hall. Here’s what
Lapson told the Monrovia
Weekly:
“Living in Monrovia,
my thoughts of introducing
similar Fine Art interest
here, in my own home town
became my passion.
The Alvord Room
in the Monrovia Library
became the “Alvord Room
Gallery” which I created, and
the most famous California
artists were invited to show
their work for prestigious
exhibitions there. I ran and
secured the art exhibitions,
lectures, receptions and
handled publicity.
A
ceremony
of
commendation was held for
me at the Monrovia City
Hall in appreciation for
what I was doing, and I was
presented with a Certificate
of Honor, plus an Honorary
Life Membership to the
Monrovia Library.
In October 1964, I alone
introduced and founded the
first Annual Monrovia Art
Festival.
After contacting
the L.A. Times, a photo was
published which includes

Ainsworth,

assistance. In the Mid 60’s
LA Times critic Henry Seldis
said, “If you want to see
where Fine Art is happening,
go to the city of Monrovia”.
“I devoted my life and
all my energy and time to
create this dream of mine
back in 1963 and 1964, and
in one poof, I was cut out

CORTEZ

Others say that what
happened in 1963-64, stays
in the early 1960’s. An
inimitable
predicament,
indeed.
According to a MAFA
Board member Ginger Van
Hook “….A teacher of Fine
Arts for the California Board
of Education for over five
decades, Mildred Lapson
pioneered the Fine Art
interest and art programs
throughout
Southern
California in the early 1950’s.
Her vision was to enrich our
lives by bringing fine arts to
the community. In 1963, she
initiated the first art gallery
in Monrovia, in the Alvord
Room of the Monrovia
Public Library. Miss Lapson
invited famous, professional
California artists to exhibit
their work in the Alvord
Room Gallery.
Monthly
public
receptions
and
enthusiastic discussions with
the exhibiting artists were
held. The following year, in
1964, she founded the first
Monrovia Annual Festival of
Art, which still thrives today.
The then art critic of the Los
Angeles Times, Henry Seldis
said in his column, “If you
want to see where fine art is
happening, go to Monrovia.”
Lapson sent a letter to
MAFA’s President asking
why her name has been left
out of documents pertaining
to MAFA’s history. We
print her letter(in part) here:
“Dear Bill:
If you remember, quite a
while back when you learned
that I was the founder of the
Monrovia Annual Festival of
Art, you were in my studio.

Ainsworth was the librarian
of the Monrovia Library.
Harvey Brubaker was an
interested bystander. They
appreciated
my
work
and ideas, but were not
“founders” of anything.
To make the Annual
Art
Festivals
official,
signatures were needed for
an Art Festival Association.
Katherine and Ed Ainsworth,
and
Harvey
Brubaker
signed. That was their part
- - their signatures for making
the Association official. They
were not the founders.
However,
official
help I did receive for the
2 day festival, was from
the
Monrovia
Police
Department,
many
of
whom stood guard all night
at Library Park - - - and at
that, my husband and I took
food and hot coffee to them
in the middle of the night.
This was recorded in an old
KGEM interview. (This has
since been confirmed by
KGEM )”
After running the festival
herself during the early years,
Lapson began recruiting
volunteers to help and to
teach them the ropes, so that
they could continue running
the annual fairs without her

SUNSET AVE.

has essentially started with
Monrovia artist Mildred
Lapson and the son of
a man who was one of
the signatories on some
association
documents,
Harvey Brubaker.
According to MAFA
president
Bill
Bebee:
“There is no real historical
documentation to clearly
show whose idea the first art
festival was but Miss Lapson
was certainly responsible
for organizing the art
exhibitions in the Library’s
Alvord room. Other than
the brief time that we gave
credit to Miss Lapson which
was later challenged by
David Brubaker (Harvey
Brubaker’s son) with news
articles that pointed more
to his dad, we have not
singled anyone out as the
Association’s
founder
because we do not have the
documentation.”
Pete Ostrye in the
“Monrovia
Centennial
Review” had this to say,
"The annual Monrovia Arts
Festival was started in 1964
by Katherine Ainsworth
and Harvey Brubaker to
encourage and foster an
appreciation of the arts."
He made no reference to
Mildred Lapson in that
piece.
Upon hearing this,
Lapson responded: “For one
thing, I have no idea in the
world who Pete Ostrye is, and
it is not true that Katherine
Ainsworth OR Harvey
Brubaker had anything to
do with the founding of the
First Annual(Festival). Their
signatures along with several
others were used to make
the Association
official.
They had NOTHING to do
with the founding. I alone
founded the First Annual
Festival….no one else but
me!”
MAFA President Bill
Bebee, fathomably, is taking
the diplomatic course in
these rather rough seas and
leaving it up to the more wise
Monrovia historians to delve
into.
However,
there are
many issues that have
ostensibly caused substantial
antagonism between local
artist Mildred Lapson and
the Harvey Brubaker family.
Mildred Lapson, now 90,
told Beacon Media that she
devoted her life in the 1960’s
to start the organization and is
deeply wounded by the lack
of written acknowledgement
in
MAFA
literature.
Brubaker’s son said that
Lapson “ had nothing to
do with the founding of
MAFA and that it was three
librarians and Brubaker who

Governor Brown signs bill to help
protect and preserve California's coast
As tens of thousands
gathered across the state for
California Coastal Cleanup
Day last week, Governor
Edmund G. Brown Jr. announced that he has signed
AB 754 by Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance), which gives taxpayers
the opportunity to support
coastal conservation efforts
with the check of a box on
their state income tax return.
“The beauty and allure
of California’s coast is unrivaled and this bill gives taxpayers a simple way to help
keep it that way,” said Governor Brown.
Each September, on
the third Saturday of the
month, Californians gather

to take part in the state's largest volunteer event, California Coastal Cleanup Day.
Last year more than 65,000
volunteers removed nearly
770,000 pounds of trash and
recyclables from California’s
beaches, lakes and waterways. In 1993, California
Coastal Cleanup Day was
recognized by the Guinness
Book of World Records as
the “largest garbage collection” ever organized. Over
the years, California Coastal
Cleanup Day has spread inland from the beaches and
now includes urban efforts
to “stop trash where it starts”
before litter can make its way
into the state’s waterways.
AB 754 will create a

check-off box on California
personal income tax forms.
This will allow taxpayers
to make charitable contributions to the California
Beach and Coastal Enhancement Account. Funds
will be available through
the California Coastal Commission’s WHALE TAIL
Grants Program, which
supports public education
on the state’s marine and
coastal resources, Adopt-ABeach programs and other
beach maintenance and
coastal habitat restoration
projects that have an educational component.

the bill, visit: http://leginfo.

the 41st Assembly District

that includes Monrovia,
will update the council
on the 2013 Legislative
session which ended last
week. Included in the
discussion will be a review
of the state budget, prison
overcrowding, affordable
healthcare,
education,

and bills promoting job
growth.
In his freshman term,
Assemblymember Holden
had eight bills sent to
Governor Brown for
signature. When signed,
they will go into effect

State schools chief Tom Torlakson
visits nation’s capital to push
for student broadband access
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction Tom
Torlakson will be in Washington, D.C., next week as
he continues his push for increased federal assistance to
provide broadband access
for all students and schools
across California. At issue is
the federal Schools and Libraries Program, more commonly known as E-rate, a
surcharge on long distance
telephone bills established in
1997 that provides discounts
to assist schools and libraries
in obtaining affordable telecommunications and Internet
access. Torlakson has championed efforts to update E-rate
to narrow the digital divide. In
March 2012, he convened his
Education Technology Task
Force to bring 21st century
tools into California’s classrooms. He has also brought
together other state superintendents via the Council of
Chief State School Officers
(CCSSO) to work together
on this issue.
“The world has changed,
and our economy and society
thrive on interconnectivity,”

Torlakson said. “E-rate is one
of the tools we have to help
close the digital divide for
California’s children. E-rate
has been a success, but now’s
the time to make it even better so more schools and libraries can take advantage of it.”
In
June,
President
Obama proposed modernizing the E-rate program as
part of his ConnectED initiative, which Torlakson at the
time called “a huge step in the
right direction.” The Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) opened a public
comment period soon after.
Torlakson encouraged local
superintendents and other
education stakeholders across
California to weigh in; the
California Department of
Education submitted its comments this week.
Among the state’s priorities are expanding the
program; making it easier to
apply for and receive funding; ensuring the flexibility to
take advantage of future technologies; distributing funding
according to highest-priority
needs; and allowing for ad-

equate bandwidth to support
wireless access as schools continue moving toward a one-toone computing ratio.
Monday in Washington,
Torlakson will co-chair the
CCSSO’s Digital Learning
Task Force. The full-day gathering will include task force
discussion and meeting with
FCC commissioners and staff,
along with representatives of
the White House Domestic
Policy Council and the U.S.
Department of Education.
Tuesday, Torlakson will meet
with the offices of Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara
Boxer of California, as well
as Senator Jay Rockefeller of
West Virginia, who is one of
the original authors of the Erate program.
“With 6.2 million children, our student population
here in California is bigger
than the total populations of
some 30 other states,” Torlakson said. “To truly reach and
teach every child—to prepare
them for the world they’ll
encounter outside our classrooms— technology has to be
a part of what we do.”

Another question. Why

about this from the public

There will be another

More bizarre behavior
I'm afraid. Our Assemblyman came to speak to the
City of Sierra Madre last
night about what he called
the "State of the State." It
turned into a sales pitch for
some very scary Sacramento initiatives. None more
so than SB-1. Here is what
Chris Holden's meeting
handout had to say on that
topic:
SB-1 (Steinberg) - Allows cities to establish a
Sustainable Communities
Investment Authority and
direct tax increment revenues to that Authority in
order to address blight by
supporting development in
transit priority project areas,
small walkable communities
and clean energy manufacturing sites.
SB-1 is little more than a
mechanism by which shady
Sacramento politicians like
Chris Holden can pay back
the unions, developers and
Realty organizations that
shower them with money by
allowing local government to
seize the property of private
individuals on the cheap.
Done so that certain favored
interested parties can build
things like condo complexes
and bowling alleys.

Sierra Madre is a town
where the residents voted
overwhelming to outlaw eminent domain. Chris Holden
believes he has the right to
not only re-impose it upon us
from above, but do so in a
way that gives the maximum
possible rewards to his most
prominent campaign donors.
All backed up by the muscle
of our pathological central
state government.”
In response to The Tattler’s comments, Assemblyman Holden told Sierra
Madre Weekly:
“I supported Senate
Bill 1 (Steinberg), because
of my belief in local decision making. The State took
away these choices when redevelopment agencies were
abolished, and Senate Bill 1
restores the ability for local
leaders to address blight by
supporting development in
transit priority project areas,
small walkable communities,
and clean energy manufacturing sites.
This bill provides for
local choice. If there is no
local support for the establishment of a Sustainable
Communities Investment
Authority, then this bill does
not require one to be created.”

CSULA alumna wins Emmy
statuette for outstanding casting
California State University, Los Angeles’ awardwinning alumna, Carmen
Cuba, won an Emmy in
the category of casting for a
miniseries, movie or a special for the HBO film, “Behind the Candelabra.”
Cuba garnered her
Emmy during the Primetime Creative Arts Emmys
last weekend at the NOKIA
Theatre L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles.
The ceremony honors
the people behind the shows
in addition to talent like
guest stars ahead of the televised 65th Primetime Emmy
Awards ceremony this Sunday, Sept. 22, on CBS at 8
p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
“Winning the Emmy
for ‘Behind the Candelabra’
is just icing on what was a
fantastic cake to begin with,”
said Cuba, who received
her bachelor’s degree in
television, film and media
studies (TVFM) at CSULA.
“Part of why I think it was
so well-received is that everyone involved loved the
project so much and had so
much fun putting it together
that the viewers could feel it.
It didn’t hurt that we were
able to get such amazing ac-

tors to play everything from
the biggest to the smallest of
roles.”
“Behind the Candelabra,” starring Michael
Douglas, Matt Damon, Scott
Bakula, Rob Lowe, and
Debbie Reynolds, is a 2013
American drama film directed by Steven Soderbergh
about the last 10 years in the
life of pianist Liberace and
the secret affair he had with
the younger Scott Thorson.
The film is based on Thorson’s memoir, Behind the
Candelabra: My Life with
Liberace (1988).
Cuba established herself
as an independent casting director through her work with
controversial filmmaker Larry Clark on the films, Bully
and Ken Park. She launched
her career working with the
legendary casting director
Margery Simkin on such
films as Fear and Loathing
in Las Vegas, Bowfinger, and
Erin Brockovich. She also
has been collaborating with
Academy Award-winning
Steven Soderbergh for over
nine years on films, such as
Magic Mike, Haywire, Contagion, and The Informant!
Outside of her work
with Soderbergh, Cuba cast

Now You See Me, Butter,
and The Butterfly Effect as
well as Dark Places and Hidden, both to be released next
year. She also cast the television projects, Full Circle and
Killing Kennedy.
Currently, she is casting Open, a one-hour HBO
drama series pilot, executive
produced and directed by
Ryan Murphy; The Knick, a
Cinemax/HBO series executive produced and directed
by Soderbergh; and an upcoming HBO comedy series,
entitled Looking, executive
produced and directed by
Andrew Haigh.
Cuba attributes CSULA
Professor Robert Vianello’s
“Business Practices in the Entertainment Industry” class
for playing an important role
in her storied career.
The TVFM department
at CSULA offers students
an excellent education in
media studies. It comprises
an undergraduate program
leading to a bachelor’s degree in television, film and
media studies, with options
in telecommunications and
film and broadcast journalism. Both M.A. and M.F.A.
degree programs are also
available.

“Sleep” is our specialty. That’s right, no oxygen,
scooters, wheelchairs, beds or other DME.
We supply only PAP equipment and related
replenishment supplies. This allows us to be
real experts in what we do and to concentrate on
delivering the patient care that matters. The fact we
serve more than 18,000 patients over 18 states and
are growing rapidly is testament to our focus and
commitment to delivering timely setup and having
happy and compliant patients.

Compliance through great patient care

is what really sets us apart from the pack. Our
licensed respiratory professionals (respiratory
therapists and registered sleep techs) work with
patients from the time of setup and throughout
their therapy with one goal in mind…to ensure
they quickly adapt to their therapy and stay
compliant over time.

Our CPAP Circle of Care® program

was carefully designed to achieve this. The first
step of the program is for one of our licensed
respiratory therapists to complete the setup faceto-face with the patient, either in their home or
their doctor’s office, usually within 72 hours of
approval. Our R/T will set the machine to the
prescription and then educate the patient on its
use, care and maintenance. And educate the
patient on what to expect over the first days and
weeks of their therapy. We set up all patients on
the highest quality machines fitted with wireless
modems (regardless of insurance). And we leave
the modems on the machine indefinitely so as to be

We relieve you from the burden of answering day-to-day equipment issues.

able to continue to collect usage data.
After setup patients are passed to our patient care
center for ongoing compliance care. Our licensed
clinicians make outgoing calls at 72 hours, 30 days
and 90 days after setup to interdict any problems
patients may be having. A field R/T will make a
re-visit to a patient in their home where a problem
cannot be resolved over the phone.

Download on Demand® - Driving Compliance

When calling patients we use data generated from
our proprietary Download on Demand® software.
This takes the raw data streams from patient’s
modems, parses the data to produce compliance
reports containing key data points and a graph
that our clinicians use so that they can have an
intelligent conversation with the patient based on
that patient’s actual use of their equipment. Of
course patients can (and do!) call in to our patient
care center for help and advice from our clinicians
at any time.

Our goal is to have happy, compliant patients while taking the brunt of the every-day questions patients invariably
have. This relieves the burden from our referring physician’s offices who otherwise have to deal with this call volume,
and depending on the experience of the doctor in this field, may not be able to answer typical questions the patient
has regarding equipment issues (e.g. how to fix a leaking mask).

Skeptical?

So you’ve heard it all before? All the DME’s brag that they’re the best and have a great compliance and supply
replenishment program.... everybody talks the talk...so who do you believe? Your patients...that’s who! We’ll prove
it to you. Send us two or three patients and then ask your patients about the care they received and their opinion of
the process... then compare the results to your existing DME provider. Talk to your staff about the interaction they
have with our office. Look at our documentation. Reach out to Bill Kleiman (contact info below) to set up an inservice over lunch with your staff to go over our program and answer any questionvs you may have.

The prescribing doctor receives documentation by
eFax (or electronically via EMR system integration),
starting with confirmation of receipt of the referral
through every touch we have with the patient. This
includes a copy of the 2-page compliance reports
containing our Download on Demand® data and
a copy of the notes made by our clinician during
a call. Our proprietary systems automate the
flow of documentation keeping referring doctors
completely informed about their patients’ progress
and ensure physicians have the documentation they
need for follow-up consultations with their patients.

MAFA origins questioned
Continued from page 11

Lapson
has
provided
numerous
documents
supporting her entitlement.
MAFA President Bill
Bebee wrote to Lapson about
her concerns : “The findings
you provided painted one
side of the picture and the
findings that David Brubaker
provided painted something
different concerning how the
art association was formed. I
do believe and am convinced
beyond any doubt based on
press copies that you in fact
held fine art exhibitions in
the former Alvord Room at
the library in the late 1950’s.
That cannot be disputed.
But how the first art festival
came about is not so clear
cut based on the findings I
had before me.
Since there were many
unresolved issues on that
fact, our group agreed that
it was not our focus to dig
any deeper. Our focus is
to promote the arts as well
as to provide mentoring for
our young artists. However,
if someone wants to do the
necessary research I am
happy to assist. I made a
copy of the materials that
David Brubaker sent us and
I’ll forward that to you if
you like. It is not and has

never been our intention to
take anything from you; but
if we are not in a position to
truthfully give you or anyone
else credit, it would not be

“Her vision
(Lapson) was to
enrich our lives
by bringing
fine arts to the
community.
In 1963, she
initiated the first
art gallery in
Monrovia, in the
Alvord Room of
the Monrovia
Public Library.”
– MAFA Board Member

right to do so.
I know this is not what
you wanted to hear. Perhaps
this was another reason

I could not reply sooner.
But this matter is not going
anywhere so someone else
needs to pick up the task. I
am sorry that we cannot do
any more.” – Bill Bebee,
MAFA President.
Lisa Barrios from Paint
and Play said “ it is very
complicated that's why the
board members have stayed
away from this subject...
none of us were there. No
matter what we have tried
to do in the past, someone
surfaces and gets upset. As
a volunteer organization,
and as individuals, it's all
we can do to bring art to
the community through
MUSD
students
and
events to showcase our
local artists. So far it has
been a no win situation for
MAFA. Going back this
many years to check facts
(that sway, depending on
whom you ask) is not a task
anyone can take on. We are
all busy just trying to serve
our community as per our
mission statement.”
This year marks the
50th anniversary of the
formation of the local art
group, originally known as
the Monrovia Art Festival
Association.

Fire in Angeles National Forest chars 250 acres
Continued from page 1

6 p.m. Monday near San
Gabriel Canyon Road and
Sierra Madre Avenue. Los
Angeles firefighters asked for
the Canadian super-scoopers
and choppers attack the fire.
The sun was rapidly
setting as the super scoopers
made several drops but
eventually had to return to
base due to nightfall and
heavy smoke.
Unstable
winds
hampered firefighters initially
but those died down about
two hours after the blaze
began.

Steep terrain was major
hurdle, and helicopters
dropped firefighters behind
the blaze to cut lines and keep
the flames from advancing
too quickly according to
early reports.
Helicopters made water
drops until midnight, when it
became too dark to fly.
Azusa Canyon and
Highway 39 north of Foothill
Boulevard remains closed
traffic. No homes have been
damaged and no one has
been injured.
More than 400 fire

personnel are on duty
Tuesday battling the blaze.
The cause of the blaze
remains under investigation.
Full
containment
of the fire is expected
by Friday morning. No
structures lost or injuries
reported. Essential now,
the crews are in mop –up
mode, according to fire
officials. The air support
received combined with
high humidity and low
winds played a vital role in
stopping the spread of this
fire according to officials.

Coinciding with the 300th anniversary of Serra’s birth, this
unprecedented exhibition features about 250 objects from The
Huntington’s collections and those of 61 lenders in the United
States, Mexico, and Spain. Through a display of rare documents,
maps, artifacts, and works of art, “Junípero Serra” provides a
sweeping examination of Serra’s origins on the Spanish island of
Mallorca, where he was born; his years as a missionary in Mexico;
and his work to establish a system of missions along the California
coastline, beginning with Mission San Diego in 1769. The exhibition
is on view in the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art and

Everything from soup to nuts
at this year's Taste of Arcadia
By Susan Motander
A sellout crowd of
2000 attended Monday’s
Taste of Arcadia at the
Los
Angeles
County
Arboretum.
It was
quite literally a soup to
nuts experience: local
restaurants supplied food
as diverse as chili verde
soup to spiced pecans with
everything else imaginable.
For those looking for liquid

refreshments the offerings
were just as diverse from
A to Z: Ale to Zinfandel.
It was impossible leave
hungry.
There were awards
for the best of all the
delightful offerings. The
Derby garnered “Best
Dessert” for its bread
puddings.
The savory
offerings of Nikki C

earned them top honors in
that category. The award
for the “Best Presentation”
went to Arcadia Gardens
with Santa Anita Race
Track winning “Most
Innovative.” It was Matt
Denny’s with its Monday
Night Football offering
which took top honors with
the award for the “Best
Overall” presentation.

Monrovia man charged with threats
Continued from page 1

of making false bomb
threats – was arrested on
Sept. 17 after allegedly
calling in threats to several
schools, a medical center,
a shopping mall and a
police agency – including
Arcadia High School. The
calls forced searches in
several communities.
Police
departments
of the cities of Arcadia,
Covina and Monrovia,
the
Federal
Bureau
of
Investigation,
and
Los
Angeles
County
Sheriff’s
investigators
from Temple Station,
Major Crimes Bureau,
and the Joint Terrorism
Task Force launched a
joint investigation which
resulted to the suspect’s
arrest.
Cortez is charged
with six counts of making
criminal
threats
and
five counts of falsely
reporting an emergency.
The
complaint
also
alleges Cortez has a
prior conviction of falsely
reporting a bomb to an
agency or business.
Using
advanced
technology
and
investigative techniques,

key
information
was
gathered by the team, and
the suspect was arrested as
he left his Monrovia home
about 4 p.m. on Sept. 17.
Investigators
continued
the investigation, including
serving a search warrant at
his home.
All
policing
agencies involved in this
investigation took this
very seriously. The nature
of these criminal threats
brought
tremendous
fear to students, faculty,
parents, patients, and the
community. It also drew
a significant amount of
policing resources away
from other legitimate
purposes. Incidents such
as these will continue to
be handled in a serious
manner.
The incidents that
led to this arrest was the
caller said he had an AK47 and threatened to shoot
people.

for signs of alcohol and/or
drug impairment. Officers
will also check drivers for
proper licensing and will
strive to delay motorists
only momentarily. When
possible, specially trained
officers will be available to
evaluate those suspected
of drug-impaired driving.
Drivers caught driving
impaired can expect jail,
license suspension, and

insurance increases, as well
as fines, fees, DUI classes,
and other expenses that can
exceed $10,000.
In 2011, over 10,000
people
were
killed
nationally in motor vehicle
traffic crashes that involved
at least one driver or
motorcycle rider with a
blood alcohol concentration
(BAC) of .08% or higher.
In California, this deadly
crime led to 774 deaths
because someone failed to
designate a sober driver.
“Over the course of the past
three years, DUI collisions
have claimed 5 lives and
resulted in 65 injury crashes
harming 85 of our friends
and
neighbors,”
said
Pasadena Police Chief Phil
Sanchez.
According to the
National Highway Traffic
Safety
Administration
(NHTSA),
checkpoints
have provided the most
effective
documented
results of any of the DUI
enforcement
strategies,
while
also
yielding
considerable cost savings of
$6 for every $1 spent. Based
on collision statistics and
frequency of DUI arrests,

DUI Checkpoints are
placed in locations that have
the greatest opportunity
for achieving drunk and
drugged driving deterrence.
Locations are chosen with
safety considerations for the
officers and the public.
“DUI
Checkpoints
have been an essential
part of the phenomenal
reduction in DUI deaths
that we witnessed since
2006 in California,” said
Christopher J. Murphy,
Director of the Office of
Traffic Safety. “But since
the tragedy of DUI accounts
for nearly one third of
traffic fatalities, Pasadena
needs the high visibility
enforcement and public
awareness that checkpoints
provide.”
Funding
for
this
checkpoint is provided
to
Pasadena
Police
Department by a grant from
the California Office of
Traffic Safety, through the
National Highway Traffic
Safety
Administration,
reminding everyone to
continue to work together
to bring an end to these
tragedies. If you see a

Employment training panel approves
over $6.9M to train California workers
The State of California’s
Employment
Training Panel approved
32 contracts worth over
$6.9M in job training funds
at its regularly held public
meeting today. Proposals included small business and smaller scale
projects, under $100,000
each, approved by Panel
Chair, Barry Broad and
Chief Deputy Director,
Jill McAloon through the
Panel’s delegation order
process. Training proposals included both single
employer contracts as well
as multiple employer contracts and were representative of various industry sectors throughout the state.
The projects approved also
included a significant number of new workers related
to new and expanding facilities in California.
One such project, new
to the ETP program, is
Ecologic Brands Inc. (Ecologic), a small business
headquartered in Oakland, California. Founded
in 2008, Ecologic is an
award-winning
designer
and manufacturer of sustainable packaging solutions. Recognized for making America’s first paper
bottle, which consists of a
compostable outer shell
made with 100% recycled
cardboard and newspaper,
Ecologic is dedicated to offering consumers a choice
beyond plastic. Throughout the product lifecycle
Ecologic bottles generate
59 percent less solid waste,
37 percent fewer carbon dioxide emissions, consume
48 percent less energy than

equivalent plastic bottles,
and are 100% recyclable.
Consumer
demand
for sustainable packaging
continues to grow, and in
July, Ecologic opened its
first production facility in
the United States, a 60,000
square-foot facility in Manteca, California. In a region
which has traditionally suffered from high unemployment, Ecologic’s recent
business expansion has
translated into the creation
of new jobs. To date, 40
new employees have been
hired at the new plant,
where the company plans
to produce 6 million bottles per year. With a goal
of producing 60 million
bottles per year, the plant
has capacity for 100 new
jobs and the potential for
continued job creation is
likely.
The
Employment
Training Panel approved
employment training funds
in the amount of $73,840,
to assist Ecologic in training both new and incumbent workers in the operation of new manufacturing
equipment, as well as business and computer skills,
and continuous improvement. All training will be
provided at the Manteca
manufacturing facility and
at Ecologic’s offices in
Oakland.
“Ecologic is excited to
partner with the Employment Training Panel in
funding training for our
newly expanded workforce,” said Julie Corbett, Founder & CEO of
Ecologic. “ETP support
is critical in our continu-

ous development of a
highly-skilled workforce
that’s able to respond to
market demand with ever
improving efficiency and
increased customer satisfaction.”
ETP is a business
and labor supported state
agency that assists employers in strengthening
their competitive edge in
the economy by providing
funds to partially off-set
the costs of necessary job
skills training. California’s
ETP is a performancebased program, providing
funds for trainees who successfully complete training
and are retained in goodpaying jobs at or above a
required wage base, for at
least 90 days.
The program, funded
by the Employment Training Tax paid by California
employers, helps businesses threatened by outof-state and international
competition. The Panel
also serves employers under its Special Employment Training Program,
funding projects designed
to improve skills and employment security of frontline workers in projects
that do not meet standard
employer/trainee eligibility requirements. Since its
inception in 1983, the ETP
program has provided approximately $1.25 billion
to train over 800,000 workers for more than 78,000
California
companies.
Employers match training
funds awarded by ETP,
making these projects true
public-private
partnerships.

Rep. Chu kicks off 10th Annual
Domestic Violence Collection Drive
Congresswoman
Judy Chu (CA-27) was
joined
Monday
by
Congresswoman
Grace
Napolitano (CA-32) to
launch the 10th annual
month-long
Domestic
Violence Collection Drive.
“Domestic
violence
touches every community,
impacting people of all
ethnicities and walks of life.
As a State Assemblywoman
in 2003, I joined forces with
Kaiser Permanente Baldwin
Park to hold these Domestic
Violence
Awareness
Collection Drives, and for
ten years we have been
helping victims as they
overcome their physical
and
emotional
scars.

I’m excited to welcome
Congresswoman Napolitano
to our partnership this year.
Together, we will make this
year our most successful
drive yet.”
Throughout
her
time in public service,
Congresswoman Chu has
defended and advocated
on behalf of domestic
violence survivors. In the
California State Assembly,
she sponsored legislation
protecting the assets of
domestic violence survivors
after a woman in her district
was forced to provide half
of her retirement benefits
to her abusive husband
when she divorced him. In
Congress, she has worked

to reauthorize and fully
fund the Violence Against
Women Act (VAWA).
She has also pushed to
expand VAWA protections
for underserved victims
of
domestic
violence,
including
immigrants,
Native Americans and
LGBT victims.
Chu’s efforts are
driven by the fact that
domestic violence presents
a significant threat to the
American people. Sixteen
people fell victim to
domestic violence every
minute in 2010.
That
amounts to 2.1 million
Americans
who
are
physically assaulted by an
intimate partner every year.

First group of finalists
unveiled for Rose Bowl
game all-century class
Patty Driscoll, George
Halas and Neil Snow
have been nominated as
finalists for the Rose Bowl
Game All-Century Class
as representatives from the
1900’s and 1910’s. The
candidates, as voted by an
esteemed panel from the
Football Writers Association of America (FWAA),
are the first of a series of
names who will be unveiled
each Sunday throughout
the remainder of the college football regular season.
In commemoration of
the 100th Rose Bowl Game,
the All-Century Class
will highlight and honor
great players and coaches
throughout the history of
The Granddaddy of Them
All.
A closer look at the finalists from the 1900’s and
1910’s:
Nationally respected
for his play as quarterback
for Northwestern and considered one of the outstanding backs in the early
history of the game, Patty
Driscoll excelled for the

Great Lakes Navy team.
Completing 4 of 8 passes
for 77 yards, Driscoll lead
Great Lakes Navy to a 17-0
victory over the Mare Island
Marines in 1919. Driscoll
returned punts for a total
of 115 yards and punted six
times for an average of 43.3
yards (including punts of 50
and 60 yards.) He is also
noted for a drop-kicked
field goal from the 30-yard
line.
Long before the nickname “Papa Bear,” George
Halas showcased his talents in the 1919 Rose Bowl
Game. A three sport collegiate athlete at Illinois,
Halas became a member
of the Great Lakes Navy
squad during a time college
football teams were depleted due to World War I. In
addition to a 45-yard touchdown reception against the
Mare Island Marines, Halas
returned an interception 77
yards to the Mare Island
3-yard line. For his performance, Halas was named
Player of the Game.
The first touchdown in

Rose Bowl Game history
was scored by Neil Snow, a
running back for the powerhouse Michigan squad that
defeated Stanford 49-0, in
the first Rose Bowl Game
on January 1, 1902. That
touchdown was the first of
five for Snow, a Rose Bowl
Game record that has never been broken. Snow’s
five five-point touchdowns
also gave him the record
for the most points scored
in a Rose Bowl Game. He
was inducted into the Rose
Bowl Hall of Fame in 1990.
The FWAA voting
committee will select one
Rose Bowl Game representative from each decade to
comprise the All-Century
Class. In addition, one
overall player and one
overall coach will be highlighted at a press conference on Selection Sunday,
which will take place on
December 8, 2013, in Pasadena.

Game, please visit www.

A new California Appellate case just published August 8, 2013,
“Glaski v. Bank of America”, holds that a homeowner can challenge
his lender’s right to foreclose by showing that the Deed of Trust never
made it into the securitized trust until after the trust’s closing date.
This is the case in most loans made
in the last 12 years.
If the bank
foreclosed we should be able to get
the homeowner money damages
and/or the house back. Or a lawsuit
could be filed and a court ruling
obtained preventing the court from
foreclosing. Recently enacted Sections
2924(a)(6) and 2924.19 of California
Civil Code provide the same relief to
homeowners.
It is highly suggested that homeowners
take this window of opportunity to get
relief before the banks get Congress to
close this door with national legislation.

and electronic items. Fresh
blood droppings were located on the front porch and
front walkway area of the
residence, which indicated
the suspect suffered an injury while making entry. No
witnesses were located. Further investigation is being
conducted by the Detective
Bureau.
At approximately 6:03 p.m.,
an officer was dispatched to
The Derby, 233 East Huntington Drive, in reference to
a theft report. A male subject
left the restaurant without

paying for his $56 tab which
consisted of one meal and a
couple of alcoholic drinks.
The suspect is described as a
White male, approximately
50-years-old, thin build with
a full beard, wearing an unknown colored t-shirt and
black shorts. The officer conducted an area check, but
the suspect was not located.
Thursday, September 19:
At about 6:55 p.m., an officer was dispatched to Hollister at the Santa Anita Mall,
400 South Baldwin Avenue,
in regards to a theft investigation. An adult suspect
concealed merchandise inside a used shopping bag
and exited the store without
making payment. Further
investigation revealed the
subject falsely impersonated
a victim using his driver’s
license and in fact, had a no
bail warrant for burglary.
The 27-year-old Hispanic
male was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City
Jail for booking.
At approximately 8:16 p.m.,
officers responded to Metro
PCS, 158 East Duarte Road,
in regards to an armed
robbery. A male suspect
pushed a lone employee
into the restroom and forced
him to stay inside by threatening him with an unknown
object. While the victim was
inside the restroom, multiple
subjects ransacked the location and stole 56 phones. A
total of $1,500 was also missing from the cash register.
No surveillance footage was
available as the suspects damaged the surveillance system
and stole the accompanying
hard drive. Further investigation is being conducted by
the Detective Bureau.
Friday, September 20:
Shortly after 2:00 p.m., an officer responded to the parking lot of Macy’s at the Santa
Anita Mall, 400 South Baldwin Avenue, in regards to a

report of a reckless driver.
The officer made contact
with the reported subject
and discovered he was under the influence of alcohol.
An investigation revealed his
blood alcohol content was
greater than 0.08 percent.
The 20-year-old Hispanic
male was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City
Jail for booking.
At approximately 9:23 p.m.,
officers responded to Bonita Skate Park, 100 South
Baldwin Avenue, in regards
to a robbery that had just
occurred. An investigation
revealed an 18-year-old Hispanic male took the victim’s
cell phone, refused to give it
back, and made threatening
statements toward the victim
when he attempted to retrieve his property. Another
subject, a 23-year-old Hispanic male, was determined
to be under the influence of
alcohol and unable to care
for himself. Both suspects
were arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for
booking.

Monrovia PD

Vehicle Vandalism
September 3 at 4:57 a.m.,
police dispatch received a
call from a pedestrian reporting a vehicle parked
in a parking lot in the 100
block of East Lemon with
all of the windows broken
out. An officer responded
and it appears to be an act
of vandalism.
Grand Theft – Suspect
Arrested
September 3 at 8:32 p.m.,
a business in the 300 block
of West Huntington called
and reported a suspect inside the store had reached
around a counter and removed an iPhone that was
playing the store music.
Once the music stopped,
employees looked at the
store security film and saw
that the suspect was still inside the store, in line, and
they called police. When
the suspect left the store,
he was detained by an officer outside and arrested
for the theft.
Domestic Violence /
Grand Theft Auto Recovered – Suspect Arrested
September 4 at 4:39 a.m.,
the victim of a recent domestic battery incident that
occurred on August 31
called to report her car had
been stolen. The suspect
had battered his girlfriend,
hitting her three times in
the face, causing her right
eye to swell shut and a half
inch laceration above her

eye. The suspect fled the
location and is wanted by
police for the battery charges. The victim reported
that the vehicle had been
taken from the front of her
house. Approximately 30
minutes later, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department
responded to the report
of a vehicle on fire. They
located the woman’s vehicle, which had been set
on fire in the county area
of Duarte. The boyfriend/
suspect in the domestic
battery had a key to the
vehicle. A wanted person's
entry was made into the
law enforcement computer
system and the suspect was
observed by Claremont
police officers later that
same day. A chase ensued.
Monrovia Special Enforcement Team officers and
detectives from the West
San Gabriel Valley AntiCrime Task Force responded to assist Claremont officers.
Battery / Vandalism /
Driving Under the Influence – Suspects Arrested
September 6 at 2:09 a.m.,
officers responded to a
residence in the 200 block
of South Madison on the
report of a male suspect
attempting to enter the
victim's home by kicking
in the door and breaking
a window. Officers arrived
and saw two suspects fleeing from the residence in a
vehicle. A felony stop was
conducted on the vehicle
and two male suspects
were detained. Through investigation, it was learned
that the victim and his girlfriend were walking to their
apartment. They walked
by a vehicle occupied by
two male subjects and the
passenger whistled and
made comments to the victim’s girlfriend. The victim
told the suspect to leave
them alone. The passenger
exited the vehicle and ran
after them; a fight ensued.
The victim got away from
the suspect and ran into
the apartment. The suspect
then tried to force the door
of the apartment open. Not
succeeding, he punched
and broke a glass window
with his hand, cutting his
hand in the process. The
victim told the suspect they
had called the police and
the suspect fled. The passenger was arrested for battery and vandalism. The
driver of the vehicle was
determined to be under
the influence and was arrested for DUI.

Sierra Madre PD

Sunday September 15
At 9pm, officers responded
to the 600 block of Oak Crest
Drive to investigate a report
of a disturbance. A brother
and sister had been involved
in a verbal argument over a
misunderstanding. At one
point the brother made a
threatening remark then
shoved his sister, causing
her to fall down a short staircase. The brother then fled
the residence. The sister
sustained a cut to her right
knee and complained of
soreness to her neck.
Thursday September 19
A residential burglary occurred in the 400 block of
Auburn Avenue between
the hours of 10am and
11pm. Unknown suspects
entered the rear yard, removed a screen from a
kitchen door window and
then smashed the window
with an unknown object.
Unlocking the door from
the inside, the suspect(s)
rummaged through cabinets and drawers removing
jewelry and musical instruments. It appeared that the
suspect(s) left through the
front door.
Friday September 20
At 10am, officers were dispatched to the 200 block
of South Baldwin Avenue
to investigate burglar alarm
activation. On arrival, they
discovered a rear sliding
glass door open. The investigation revealed that unknown suspect(s) smashed a
rear bedroom window then
used a nearby trash can to
climb inside. Once inside
the alarm went off when the
suspect entered a room with
a motion detector. The suspect quickly fled exiting the
sliding glass door.
At 10pm, officers responded
to a domestic violence incident in the 300 block of
West Montecito Avenue. A
couple with a nine year relationship became involved
in a verbal argument that
quickly escalated into a
physical altercation. The
male pushed his girlfriend
to the floor then pulled her
arms behind her back causing pain. She managed to
break free and run into an
adjacent room. The boyfriend chased her, pushed
her onto a sofa then began
choking her for several seconds. Then he let her go.
He packed all of his clothing and left the residence.
The victim sustained visible
bruising to her neck, arms
and thigh. Detectives are
continuing efforts to locate
the suspect.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you
are considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand that there are risks
involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the property
itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee
auction does not automatically entitle you
to free and clear
ownership of the property. You should also
be aware that the lien being auctioned off
may be a junior lien. If you are the highest
bidder at the auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off all liens senior
to the lien being auctioned off, before you
can receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the existence,
priority, and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge
you a fee for this information. If you consult
either of these resources, you should be
aware that the same lender may hold more
than one mortgage or deed of trust on the
property.

to Potential Bidders If you are considering

clear ownership of the property. You should
also be aware that the lien being auctioned
off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off all liens senior to
the lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You are
encouraged to investigate the existence,
priority, and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting the
county recorder’s office or a title insurance
company, either of which may charge you
a fee for this information. If you consult
either of these resources, you should be
aware that the same Lender may hold
more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust
on the property. Notice to Property Owner

BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at a
trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien,
not on the property itself. Placing the highest
bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership
of the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at
the auction, you are or may be responsible
for paying off all liens senior to the lien being
auctioned off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are encouraged to
investigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county recorder’s
office or a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed
of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on
this notice of sale may be postponed one or
more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The law
requires that information about trustee sale
postponements be made available to you
and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been postponed,
and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and
date for the sale of this property, you may
call 714-573-1965 for information regarding
the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web
site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the
file number assigned to this foreclosure by
the Trustee: CA-11-452869-CT . Information
about postponements that are very short in
duration or that occur close in time to the
scheduled sale may not immediately be
reflected in the telephone information or on
the Internet Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend the
scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee
disclaims any liability for any incorrectness
of the property address or other common
designation, if any, shown herein. If no
street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of
the property may be obtained by sending a
written request to the beneficiary within 10
days of the date of first publication of this
Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to
convey title for any reason, the successful
bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall

be the return of monies paid to the Trustee,
and the successful bidder shall have no
further recourse. If the sale is set aside for
any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall
be entitled only to a return of the deposit
paid. The Purchaser shall have no further
recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you
have previously been discharged through
bankruptcy, you may have been released of
personal liability for this loan in which case
this letter is intended to exercise the note
holders right’s against the real property only.
As required by law, you are hereby notified
that a negative credit report reflecting on
your credit record may be submitted to a

Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and
expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts
created by said Deed of Trust. The total
amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and
reasonable estimated costs, expenses and
advances at the time of the initial publication
of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated
to be $498,667.52 (Estimated), provided,
however, prepayment premiums, accrued
interest and advances will increase this
figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said
sale may include all or part of said amount.
In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a
cashier`s check drawn on a state or national
bank, a check drawn by a state or federal
credit union or a check drawn by a state or
federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified
in Section 5102 of the California Financial
Code and authorized to do business in
California, or other such funds as may be
acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee
may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s
Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of
right. The property offered for sale excludes
all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable
to convey title for any reason, the successful
bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be
the return of monies paid to the Trustee and
the successful bidder shall have no further
recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you
are considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand that there are risks
involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the property
itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee

auction does not automatically entitle you
to free and clear ownership of the property.
You should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to the
property. You are encouraged to investigate
the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder’s office or
a title insurance company, either of which
may charge you a fee for this information.
If you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same Lender
may hold more than one mortgage or Deed
of Trust on the property. Notice to Property
Owner The sale date shown on this Notice
of Sale may be postponed one or more times
by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or
a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
